OK, as said I cannot test this right now, but I'm _damn_ sure it would
work. Thus I'd say your equivalent patch posted a bit later can be
committed already.
But what about the wake = true case?
I'm not affected by this since my card doesn't have any wake capa,
thus it's your call of whether that pci core code part really was broken
and needed fixing.
So, for the patch in your next mail:
Acked-by: Andreas Mohr <andi@...as.de>
BTW, that patch was (pasted):
static int __e100_power_off(struct pci_dev *pdev, bool wake)
{
- if (wake) {
+ if (wake)
return pci_prepare_to_sleep(pdev);
- } else {
- pci_wake_from_d3(pdev, false);
- return pci_set_power_state(pdev, PCI_D3hot);
- }
+
+ pci_wake_from_d3(pdev, false);
+ pci_set_power_state(pdev, PCI_D3hot);
+
+ return 0;
}
Couple questions still:
- why do we call pci_wake_from_d3(...false) only!?
Wouldn't this break WoL after one iteration back and forth,
due to missing 'true' case?
- why do we call netif_device_detach() _after_ doing hardware shutdown
of the network controller? I'd guess this can cause huge issues?
Someone told me he had rtnl lock issues upon S2D with e100
(very similar to my rtnl issues during aborted .suspend),
and that might possibly be the reason?
So few lines of code, so many questions...
Thanks,
Andreas Mohr
